How should I keep new eggs?

[ac1971@nashville]

my female panther laid her eggs last night. I was planning on removing them today. This is my first time having eggs so any help would be appreciated. I was planning on a shoe box size Tupperware with some water for moisture with a smaller container with a few small holes inside containing the vermiculite and eggs. How deep does the vermiculite need to be and how moist? I'm going to keep it in a dark closet at 75 degrees. Anything else anyone can add it would be helpful.

I'm not a pro at incubating eggs, but if you can get it down maybe 2 degrees, I heard that cooler incubation temperatures prolong incubation, but the babies are usually stronger. Definitely research more about this, I don't have experience with that method of incubation. Here's one of my previous threads, you might find good info about it:

For many years I've used a shoebox sized Tupperware type container half filled with slightly moist coarse grained vermiculite in it.
I've tried it with and without a couple of holes and it makes no difference. Set up like this the box makes a mini eco system inside and if you don't take the lid off too often or for too long each time you check on the eggs it will remain stable. To test the vermiculite for moisture take a fist full of in and squeeze...if only one or two drops of water come out it's right. There will be moisture in the inside walls and lid of the container. If you do need to add a bit of water....add it around the edges ...not on the eggs. Place the eggs in rows in dents made by your thumb in the vermiculite and put the lid on and put the container in a dark spot somewhere that the temperature is about 74 F.
